Over the last year the Jane Goodall Institute has been celebrating its 30 year anniversary. The year’s celebrations culminated with two wonderful galas, one on 28 September at the California Science Center in Los Angeles, California and the other on 10 October at the Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C. Both of the galas were green events featuring an organic and locally vegetarian menu. These two events also inaugurated the Jane Goodall Institute’s Global Leadership awards. Our very own Chase Pickering was one of the recipients for Youth Leadership. Way to go Chase!
